Default One more sentence help please

After checking with the factory last week, they confirmed the mass production will be started at June 17 and finished by June 20. I will arrange customer inspection on June 20 and will catch vessel closing on June 21 if there is everything in order.

Last week, the factory confirmed that mass production will start on June 17th and be finished by June 20th. I will arrange for the customer to inspect the shipment on June 20th and will catch vessel closing on June 21 to make sure everything is in order.

Zoe, what does 'catch vessel closing' mean?

This is an alternative suggestion.
After checking with the factory last week, they confirmed that the mass production would (will be started) start on (at) June 17 and be completed (finished) by June 20. I will arrange customer inspection on June 20 so as to (and will) catch the vessel closing date on June 21 if (there) everything is in order.

Production of what? What is to be produced? I don't think you need to use mass production. Instead, try:
I checked with the manager of the factory last week and confirmed that production of ____ will start on June 17 and will be finished by June 20. I will arrange for customer inspection on June 20 and ....

Perhaps:
I will inspect the factory on June 21 and make sure everything is in order.
